Last summer when I was rolling in paid internship dough, I skipped my way down to SoHo to visit the M.A.C. store - National Headquarters. $200 later, I was laden with four new eye shadows (of my choosing, but stored in one compact case), eye liner (pot form), brushes, mascara, blush, foundation, and a new specimen to me - eye primer.It was $17, and the first on the chopping block when I heard my grand total, but my "artist" was standing beside me telling me that if I didn't buy that primer, then I might as well not buy the shadow or liner. Ouch.
Fine, I bagged it. The next day I dedicated at least 20 min to applying my new loot. First on, the eye primer. I got mine in "Bare Nude" -- it comes in a little paint tube (which I couldn't find on the website). It's creamy, like solid foundation, but it goes on so light you can't even feel/see it. Starting to be $17 of the emperors new clothes...
I put my eye make up on on top of it. There. Ok, no difference.
Nine hours later....no difference.
I'm sold, the eye primer is an absolutely essential (and secret?) make up bag element. Your make up will not smudge or come off until you've taken it off. I've accidentally slept with this on, and woken up ready for a wedding. Very impressive.
